A/N: I´ve decided to clear some doubts. I hope you´ll enjoy it. Remember reviews are highly encouraged and often begged for.
They arrived at a restaurant that for Rory was a classy version of Chuck E. Cheese. There was a game room for kids but outside it looked like a five star restaurant. All this reminded her of the day when she dated Logan. She had forgotten how powerful his name was. They were escorted to their table.
"Sarah what would you like to eat?" Logan asked his daughter.
"Mmmm...grilled salmon with mashed potatoes" Rory raised her eyebrows at the girl´s answer. Logan smiled knowing what Rory was thinking.
" She´s a fine eater Logan, congratulations."
"Well at least someone took advantage of my taste in food since you wouldn´t do it. It is fair to say you are still addicted to junk food and coffee?"
"Yes it is.I believe that I´m beyond help now" She said with a smile.
"I ´m sure but please do not contaminate my daughter "
They were interrupted by the waiter who took their orders. Rory made her best effort to eat something healthy.
They were now eating dessert. Rory and Sarah had talked Logan into ordering less healthy food and were now devouring chocolate parfaits. Sarah had talked all the way through lunch. Logan was amazed at the attitude Sarah had towards Rory, she seemed so comfortable with her.
"Daddy this is so yummy, do you want some?" Sarah said holding her spoon for Logan.
"No thanks sweetie" Then looking at Rory " See? you´ve contaminated her"
"You can´t blame me for that, she had it in her before, I´m just the trigger"
"Daddy, can I go play now?"
Logan cleaned Sarah´s chocolate covered face with a napkin before letting her go. Rory would have never guessed he could be such a good father.
"So..." Rory said once they were alone and the waiter had brought some coffee.
"You
go first Ace, mine is a long story, believe me."
"Okay,
there´s not much to tell. I´ve been working for The Point
for a couple of years now. I´m pretty happy there."
"Are you seeing someone?" He asked rather intrigued.
"Nothing serious, I don´t like to rush into things"
"Very Rory Gilmore attitude may I say? How´s Lorelai? And Luke? What about little William? Well I guess he isn´t that little anymore" Logan said thinking about Rory´s family. He remebered the night her little brother was born.
" Mom´s good, the inn is quite succesful, Luke´s fine. They still love each other like crazy. Will is eight now, he is for sure a handful but he´s also sweet and good hearted." She took a sip of coffeeand the added "your turn mister".
"Mmmm" he pretended to think "okay, I´ve took over my father inside Huntzberger Media, he´s still the boss but I do most of his work...and yeah I have a four year old kid" he said.
"But how?"
"Come on Rory, do you need me to give you "the talk"? I thought we´ve already covered that subject years ago" He said mockingly. Actually he was trying to avoid the topic.
Rory gave him a look. "You know what I mean"
"Yeah, I know. Ayear or so after we broke up I was casually dating this girl and she got pregnant. She wanted to get married but I told her I didn´t think that it was correct to bring a child into a marriage without love but thet I would always be there for her and my child."
Rory nodded she didn´t expect less from Logan "I take it she didn´t like that answer."
"No she didn´t. Then she told me she was going to have an abortion because she wasn´t going to be a single mother. So I told her that I would raise my child, she just had to give birth to it. In the end i had to bribe her to have Sarah. Once she gave birth to her she ran away with her money and I was left with a little girl to raise."
Rory was amazed with story. She inmediately felt close to Sarah. Althouth the situations had been different there were some similes between them. "Wow. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
" How did you feel about Sarah?"
" At first I was worried that the history with her mother was going to harm my relationship with Sarah. But then I saw her and all my doubts went away. I don´t care what happened, I just know that she´s mine and she´s the most important thing I have."
"You sound like my mom, you know?" She said with a smile. Logan had amazed her with his story.
"Well I´ve always thought that Lorelai was a very wise woman." He said with grin. He really liked and admired Lorelai.
"Please never tell her that, she´ll drive Luke and me crazy." Logan chuckled and she continued " What about your parents? How did they take it?"
"In the beginning not very well. But now they are head over heels for her. My dad says he´s just waiting for her to be old enough to kick me out of Huntzberger Media.Sometimes I´m afraid he´s not kidding."
Rory chuckled and then got serious.She put her hand over his which was on the table."Logan, what you did was extremely brave and I wouldn´t have expected anything less from you".
"Thanks Rory." They stayed there looking at each other until Sarah came back.
"Daddy I´m tired, can we go ?" Rory instantly took her hand off Logan´s.
"Sure Sarah in a minute." Then looking at Rory "Hey I want to see some of your writing, someone I know is looking to fill a position and you might be just what he needs."
Logan paid the bill which Rory insisted to share but he refused.Typically Logan. They exchanged their phone numbers and Rory promised top show Logan some of her stuff. They were now at the door. Logan had a dozing Sara in his arms.
"Hey Ace, do you want me to drive you somewhere?"
"No thanks, I think I´ll walk. Bye Logan it was nice seeing you"
"Same here Ace. Call me."
"Bye Sarah"
"By Rory" Sarah said weakly.
Once Rory left Logan put a sleeping Sarah on the back seat. She opened her eyes for a second and said "Daddy, I like Rory, do you think she likes me?"
Logan was surprised by her question but recovered quickly. "I´m sure she does honey." He kissed her forehead and got in the car. As he drove off he hoped what he had said to his daughter was true.
